On the ABC evening news, it was reported that, because of the dangers from
Hurricane Isabelle approaching Washington DC, the military members assigned
the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission
to suspend the assignment.
They refused. "No way, Sir!"
Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they
said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest
honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson.
The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.
I don't usually suggest that many emails be forwarded, but I'd be DAMN proud
if this one reached as many as possible.
We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter
where they serve.
God Bless them.
